CLOUDED LEOPARD VISITS STUDIO 10
Published: Thursday, 14 Oct 2010, 11:26 AM CDT

Gulf Breeze Zoo

It was a little “wild” on Studio 10 Thursday morning. Kayte from the Gulf Breeze Zoo visited the studio; along with Sabra, a 5-month-old clouded leopard.

If you watch the video, you can see Cherish and Joe got to hold the adorable cub, and didn’t want to give her up.

Clouded leopards are found in Southeast Asia. They have long tails, which help them balance in the tops of trees. Sabra is a medium-sized cat, and will only grow to about 40 pounds.
